Hey guys, This may be a niche question, haven't been able to find a lot of travel cath lab topics on the site. I am currently a cath lab nurse, coming up on 3 years of experience, 3 years ER prior. My wife (hospice nurse) are thinking of traveling fu...

Hi Everyone! Wife and I are thinking about traveling (she is also an RN). She has 12+years experience in ER and last 2 years have been hospice. I have 3 years in ER and last 2 have been cath lab. Our preference is to work together in the same departm...

No, not a deal breaker if we can't work together. We just enjoyed working together and wanted to do it again. However, our top priority is to hit the road, work, and try something we have always talked about! Thank you very much for you info!

Hi Everyone, I wanted to start a discussion board for anyone applying for the January 2020 Air Force Nurse Corps boards as I've seen a few people do this in the past and some good info has been in those discussions. Good luck to everyone in advanced!

That’s what I have heard also. Goodluck everyone!

Hello Everyone, I am in the process of putting together my packet for the selection board to become a RN in the Air Force- hopefully ready for January deadline, if not, then later in the year. I have 3 years ER experience (my hospital currently does ...

I'm going in as clinical nurse. I have an ER background but not in a "trauma" designated ER. My recruiter said I could pursue ER code if I wanted to, but regardless if I was eligible for ER or not, I did not want to do it. I went to MEPS this past w...

Thank you guys for the feedback. I've heard of a course for ER/ICU training. Where is this offered at? I'm actually leaning towards going into ICU, despite my ER background. As of right now, my eventual goal would be to go to CRNA school but I'm open...

Hi everyone, I've been trying to get as much information as I can lately about joining the military as a nurse. I already posted a thread about becoming an army nurse but was informed by my peers and also a healthcare professional recruiter that 2 ye...

We are educated Doctors, obviously we are too smart to know how to put a foley in.

Hi everyone, I've been thinking about becoming an army nurse since I graduated in May. I just passed my NCLEX and am about to start working in an ED in July. In 6 months I plan on moving to a different state or join the army so I want to gather as mu...

Thank you for the input! I do have my BSN and my gpa was just over 3.5. I am leaning towards army right now because I have two Lt. Colonels in the family who served for 40 years and they are really pushing me that route. I don't live in NC right now ...
